How the Dog Found Himself a New Master?

Summary In English
Once upon a time, dogs lived in the forest like the wolves. They were their own
masters. Then one day, there happened to be a dog who did not like this sort of life.
He did not like to be always looking for food. He was sick of remaining frightened by
those who were stronger. He thought over the problem. Then he decided to become
the servant of one who was stronger than anybody else.

He went on walking. He met a big Wolf. The Wolf asked him where he was going.
The Dog told him that he was looking for someone to take up service with. He asked
the Wolf if he would like to be his master. The Wolf agreed to take him as a servant.
They walked and walked until they came across a bear. Seeing the Bear, the wolf
hid himself in a bush. The Dog was much surprised. He asked the wolf what the
matter was. The wolf said that the bear could eat both of them. When the dog saw
that the Bear was stronger than the Wolf, he left the Wolf. He went to the bear to be
his servant. Soon after he found that the bear was afraid of the lion. So the dog
decided to serve the lion. The lion agreed to it. He lived happily with the Lion for a
long time. It was a good life. Just as the dog had wanted the Lion was the strongest
beast in the forest. No one dared touch or offend the Dog.

One day the Dog and the Lion were walking side by side along a narrow path. The
lion smelt a man and told the dog to run away with him. Otherwise they would be in
trouble. So the Dog said goodbye to the Lion and went to man.

Since then, the dog has been staying with man as his most loyal servant and knows
no other master.
